quote:

More than a half-century ago, American icon Bob Dylan repeatedly sexually abused a girl who’d just turned 12, a bombshell of a lawsuit alleges.

Over the course of six weeks between April and May of 1965, Dylan “befriended and established an emotional connection” with the girl, who’s identified in the complaint by the name “J.C.,” the lawsuit alleges. Dylan “exploited his status as a musician to provide J.C. with alcohol and drugs and sexually abuse her multiple times,” according to the lawsuit. This alleged abuse sometimes took place at Dylan’s apartment at the Hotel Chelsea, a New York City institution.
quote:

Specifically, the lawsuit accuses Dylan of assault, battery, false imprisonment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. J.C. is seeking unspecified damages and a jury trial.
Along with being the worst harmonica player in musical history, recorded or otherwise, he was kind of a shithead, and dated several women without informing them that he'd been married for years.

How does it feel to be a rapist?

It’s awful if true, but it’s tough to really evaluate a fresh allegation regarding events that happened 50 years ago unless there is substantial independent evidence to support the allegation.

This makes me happy. Not the crime but the justice.

56 years, 3 moinths. But who’s counting?

I thought Me Too claims went away when Biden was accused.

Why is her name being withheld now if she’s eligible for social security? I mean, if you’re “this close” to brushing 70 and you are accusing someone of rape you don’t have a valid claim to being emotionally undeveloped and in need of special protection.

So she needed 56 years to get the courage up to accuse him of this? Anything is possible, but that seems like a tough sell.

What's the deal with the statute of limitations? Did they eliminate for sexual abuse cases?

ETA. never mind I found it:

quote:

The suit was filed late Friday, on the eve of the closure of the New York Child Victims’ Act look-back window. The window allowed victims of childhood abuse to file suit against their attackers and the institutions that protected them regardless of how old the claims were and whether they had since passed beyond the statute of limitations.

waited for anyone still alive to die so she can lie all she wants and demand money from him

that is all this is about

there should be a mandatory statute of limitations at 15 years to make any sort of criminal complaint against someone

and i would go even farther to say if its been more then 10 years then they better have iron clad proof and several witnesses to back up their claim before then can even make a claim

It's not a criminal complaint.

This is completely antithetical to our justic system.

Even if you include civil actions within the purview of the justice system, statutes of limitations are not antithetical to that system.

No, like the kind of guy who asked Edie Sedgewick to marry him, even though he was already married. And when she found out and freaked, he wrote unflattering songs about her.

And honestly, he was just ripping off Woody Guthrie all those years anyway.
